swap memory

[linuxserver]

My swap memory is at 256 meg and my physical memory is 128 meg.  I know
I should up my physical memory, but until then should I increase my swap
memory

Thanks

No, your swap size is perfect. Unless you are using advanced graphic 
apps. I wouldnt worry about it. Your physical memory times 2 is perfect 
for swap space.

It depends on whether you are running out.  Run top sometime when you
are running a typical load.

And, don't look at the "free" memory entry -- that's basically
meaningless
because of disk buffers. Instead, look directly at how much swap is used.

In general, if you're using enough swap memory to outdo twice your physical
memory, your system is going to be so painfully slow that adding more should
be the least of your worries.

Are you running out?

If not, no.
